Package net.rim.device.api.smartcard Description

Provides a library of components for interacting with Smart Cards and Smart Card Readers.

Smart Cards are credit card sized devices that store programmable
data on an integrated circuit within the body of the card. They
are used to securely store, and more importantly transfer,
sensitive data from one party to another. In the RIM Crypto API,
smart cards are used to store and transfer sensitive crypto token data.

This package contains the framework and functionality required to
allow developers to implement their own custom smartcard and
smartcard reader solution.

For information on implementing smart card readers, see Adding smartcard reader drivers to the SmartCard API This tutorial describes
the process of adding support for new smart card reader and smart card reader drivers to the API. A smart card reader consists of the physical device and the software driver used to read the data from a smart card.
